Can Trump Rebuild America?

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Can Trump Rebuild America?

Can the president-elect right the US economy, having rattled markets with his election?

Can the president-elect right the US economy, and deliver on promises of better trade deals and new infrastructure investment, having frightened markets with his very election?

Donald Trump's very victory has rattled markets. So can the US president-elect hope to right his country's economy over the next four years? And will he rock the global economy in doing so?

Manuela Saragosa speaks to investors and strategists on a trading floor in London's financial quarter about how currency and stock markets took the shock overnight result.

Meanwhile back in the studio, Ed Butler speaks to correspondents in China and Mexico - two countries with whom Mr Trump has promised an aggressive overhaul of trading relations.

Should these countries be worried? And how realistic is Mr Trump's victory speech promise to rebuild US infrastructure? Questions we put to economists: China expert and chief strategist at Silvercrest Asset Management Patrick Chovanec, and co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research Dean Baker.
